Having recently completed Mortuary with Cateye (still in 0.9.9.1), I decided to try my luck in 0.9.9.2 - and kicked ass again! This time - with nuclear plasma rifle, modified for power (used BFG a couple of times to soften the viles behind the crowd, before they got into my line of sight). As before, I immediately used homing phase device to get as far away from the viles as possible and slowly worked my way in. Got hit a few times, but with all the Supercharges lying around and a regenerating tactical armor was not too worried.

After the dust settled (with the last several enemies taken out with the plasma rifle) I discovered no extra items under the bodies!  I traversed the whole level back and forth many times to no avail. Was the reward changed in 0.9.9.2?

Anyway - completed Chained Court and found the staff pretty unimpressive. Used it a couple of times, but would be served better with another stack of ammo. It does not even kill a demon!

I decided to leave alone many special levels, particularly the Vaults. I tried opening them on another computer in another game, but the old soft spots did not crumble. I wasted a couple of slots of rockets (28 or so!) before giving up there, so decided to not even bother this time. If anyone knows what's going on, please reply here with spoiler tags and an explanation.

The answer is that there were too many things on the ground, i.e. too many weapon, armour, ammo drops on the floor, which resulted in the you-know-what not spawning when you complete the Mortuary.

A fix for this is planned for 0.9.9.3, but since it may affect the efficiency of the program in a big way, so it is still under testing.

The workaround we have for now is to destroy some of the items on the floor when you are nearing the end of the killing.  This should allow the you-know-what to spawn without any problems.

[Game Hunter]

I decided to leave alone many special levels, particularly the Vaults. I tried opening them on another computer in another game, but the old soft spots did not crumble. I wasted a couple of slots of rockets (28 or so!) before giving up there, so decided to not even bother this time. If anyone knows what's going on, please reply here with spoiler tags and an explanation.

Well I'm not going to say explicitly or anything, but just know that some of the soft spots have changed. They still WORK, you just need to know where they are.

Anyway, looks like a real sweet run. Reaper Gold is the true reward for Mortuary completion, anyway, I don't care much for the physical reward. Good choice on the high power chaingun, too, probably a better use of mods with MCe.

Yes, I did not miss the reward that much (and yes, the floor was totally littered with ammo and weapons), I was just surprised, that's all.

Cateye is an extremely strong build, IMO - I'll try something like Fireangel next :) (I don't promise to complete Mortuary in that game, though).

[Fanta Hege]

If all the floor tiles were allready occupied by ammo and weapons, the reward cannon spawn as there's no room for it to spawn. Should've used your splash weapons a bit to clear some room.

Pretty sweet run though!

they do?  I could have sworn I hit every inch of the right vault from the inside (had a ton of phases, was testing some Conqueror shenanigans on ITYTD).  however, I was using a 5d5 launcher so that might have been the problem.
